I heat my home with oil and am a little worried about events in the sandbox making heating oil expensive or impossible to get. Years ago, I was under employed, nearly broke, and needed heating oil. Most heating oil dealers have a minimum delivery amount
( cannot blame them ) and I did not have the money to fill the tank. I started buying small amounts of off road diesel every payday and dumping it in the oil tank. Off road diesel is dyed pink just like home heating oil. All I needed was a pickup truck, a few 5 gallon cans and a big funnel. The off road diesel pump has a big adapter on the nozzle to prevent fueling modern vehicles, the funnel was needed to get fuel into the can without spillage. The off road diesel worked fine and I never had any heater problems. This alternate fuel kept me warm until I found a real job.
I live in a community with lots of poor people. Every Friday, I see people filling up 5 gallon cans at the off road diesel pump. Poor folks can be inventive
